It's called b lack pudding because of the 'black' colour it gets from being soaked in blood. The pudding bit may just be a reference to the shape, and the way it is sliced. Yum Yum.
Black pudding is made of boiled pigs' blood and pigs' fat, with seasonings, encased originally in pigs intestines to make a fat sausage shape.

It is the blood that gives it the black colour.

Traditionally, any foodstuffs that were boiled together were called puddings. Suet puddings could be sweet - with jam or golden syrup, or savoury with a meat filling, for example.


hmmmmmm Black Pudding and HP - food of the gods.
Suet, pig's blood, oatmeal, liver and herbs were among the ingredients when black pudding was first prepared many centuries ago. Now only the pig's blood, suet and oatmeal remain, but it is still a filling, nourishing food.

Continental cooks often simmer it in stock and serve it in stews. The British prefer t either boiled or fried.

Sweet chutney or crab-apple jelly to accompany the dish when it is served at high tea or as a light supper dish.

Now, where is that bacon?........I fancy a fry up!!........
if you like it boiled ,try it in the microwave for a couple of mins -but dont forget to snip off the metal staple at the end first , i love it with mustard
Like it's been said before ... Black is because of the cooked blood, Pudding is because it's cooked like a pudding.
